What's the dif? I never switched yet because it said that you can't switch back. I've never had any problems on blogspot. Being new to blogging, am now used to the format and really don't mind republishing. What other advantages does it have?

I swapped from Blogspot to Blogspot Beta and the main difference is that Blogspot Beta has lots more templates so you don't have to know computer speak! Or get someone to do it for you, lol!
It is also much easier to add elements to your page like hit counters, lists, and other fun stuff you can find on the internet; it has a drag and drop feature on the template that really rocks! Beats having to put the code in the template manually!
I switched last week and I love the new beta blogger. You can't post on blogs that aren't beta yet.. they are working on that problem. It's great and I'm glad I made the switch.
I got something to switch over once when I logged in. I went past it and didn't think of switching. Now I want to and I'm not getting the thing to switch again and am not seeing anything when I log in that would allow me to. Oh-well. I don't want to sign up for a whole new account I've had my blog for awhile now. Maybe in the future it will give me the option of switching over again.
When you're logged in look at the top & you will see Dashboard click on that & look on the right side and you should see a place to click for beta. At least that's where it was on mine. I just switched a couple of weeks ago.

It only makes you sign up with google, you'll still be able to keep your blog. You'll just be able to do funner things with beta.
I switched mine today. I didn't have the link to switch it though until this afternoon. I know the link was there recently - maybe it just appears randomly? Weird. Anyway, the switch was easy and so far so good. You can log in to leave comments on non-beta blogs, but you have to click a link first that lets you log in using your google-blogger account.
Just switched over to Beta. Love it! Didn't lose any of my info and for me its so much easier to add neat things to my blog I couldn't before. I am very happy with it so far!
